I won't do age verification, so can't access DMs. Scooter and motorbike rider, gardener (inept but enthusiastic), lover of good red wine and bubbles.
Gonna be a miserable day here too (beautiful but cold yesterday, though).
I never knew how many birds lived in my garden until I started working from home. One of these flew right up to the kitchen window whilst I was washing up yesterday lunchtime!
Rugged up and went riding this weekend. It actually wasn't that cold - should be so much colder - and the sun was out, so it was pleasant. Pic at Tarrago, with the Loaded Dog pub in the background. 450km round trip (over 2 days) on our 1959 #Lambretta #Scooters #RiddenNotHidden #MotoSky #ScooterSky
Tomorrow I'm riding the little wheels to Berry NSW, to catch up with some of the Sydney scooter crowd for a 'meet in the middle' get-together. We're camping as accomm. is dear. Winter camping gear is bulky, so I dug out my touring luggage. I may wheelie the whole way there! #MotoSky #ScooterSky
Freakishly warm still in the 'berra. Had to mow the lawn at the weekend - it should've been frost-blasted by now!
We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine! Quote-skeet with yours (if you feel like it).
Winter = casseroles. Starting today's with the 'holy trinity'. Time spent chopping is always worth it in the end. Based on a new cookbook recipe by an American. I was yesterday years old when I found out shin beef is gravy beef, which in turn is osso buco with the bone out #EveryDaysASchoolDay
Next in my occasional series: what does the surface of my newly-opened jar of Vegemite look like? This time it's Rotorua bubbling mud pool.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs ... play retro vinyl
My Dad's 90th birthday is soon. He knows what he wants for a present! He's spent the last 20 years telling wine sales people not to sell him wine that needs cellaring! Maybe that was a mistake. Anyhow, this is what he wants... and will get 🍷
Checking jetting. Too rich - wouldn't pull 4th. Ah well, it's a beautiful day for a ride #MotoSky #ScooterSky #Lambretta #RiddenNotHidden
Popped up the shops for milk. Such a nice day, I just had to sit outside with coffee and cake!
It's always chancy if I do word puzzles before my morning cup of tea. Got lucky today, though!
I checked out the Federal Court of a Australia's feed, not expecting much. But how could you not follow them with posts like this?!
#RandomPlay doesn't get more random. Found on top of a stack of our CDs - probably not played since 2009. No idea when we got this!
I wouldn't care, but they're also screwing suppliers. Shout-out for the exceptional product descriptions @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social !
New cookbooks and the prospect of friends over for BBQ has meant I may have gone a little crazy at the markets today. 4 full bags of food 😯 😋 Prices seem to have come down a little, especially for fish 🐟
Renovated our lounge / kitchen in shades of white and grey so that we could get colourful cushions, paintings etc. without fear of clashes. Latest additions are #Kudelka cushion covers 😍
